Thanks for the help. I'm new so bare with me please. I was unable to determine what type of module should be loaded for the soundcard (soundblaster awe32 pnp ide). Clients do not have cdroms.
The normal boot process gives me the messages: Running sound server sound driver not loaded, specify in /opt/ltsp/... When I run "cat /proc/lspci" (or just lspci) from the client while logged in as root with Tom's Root Boot Disk, I get the message, "file not found". How do determine what module to use for the soundcard(s) installed.
